After long consideration and anxious deliberation, I have decided to
retire from my medical practice. The economics of the Covid Epidemic
have forced me to come to this conclusion earlier than I might have
without it. This will be effective 12/15/2021. After this date, the portal will
no longer be available.
Please arrange to have another physician take care of you.
There will be a LIST OF OBGYNS under the office tab->

If you have not found another provider you can always check with your
insurance company’s provider directory. Once you have identified a
